Filmmaker and Creative Director Lucien Parsons shares his night out traditions and the tracks that soundtrack his getting ready rituals.
Where are you from?
Bristol!
What do you do?
I'm a freelance Filmmaker & Creative Director who specialises within the skateboarding and fashion industry.
Describe your style in 3 words.
Cute rad awesome.
What was the first record you played on repeat?
David Bowie's Starman had me dancing from a young age, introduced to me by my mother, I still think it's a beautiful song.
What is your 'get ready' ritual?
Sometimes I have to hype myself up for a big night out, so I quite like to listen to heavier music to get me started. Alice in Chains’ MTV Unplugged is pretty spot on. "Would?" in particular.
You have the aux in a cab, what do you play?
Everlong by Foo Fighters, continuing the emo hype.
Talk us through a typical night out in Bristol, start to finish?
Start by the docks for sundowners with the homies, look for a pub (usually The Crown) when it's dark. Head to Stokes Croft for the energy, usually ending up at some sort of 140/Jungle night.
What is your favourite independent venue in Bristol, and why?
Strange Brew. It's a really nice space in general, they host a lot of art exhibitions, skateboard video premiers and if you're ever bored of listening to the same music over and over on a night out, they've always got something weird!
Best song to end an all-nighter?
It's Too Late by The Streets. It's a bit sad but also kind of cute and sometimes I like to wallow in the comedown of a night out.
